Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the divisors of larger numbers. To find the factor combinations of the number 5,511,233, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.
We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table. Then, below that, write the numbers as a negative as well.
| 1 | 5,511,233 | |
| -1 | -5,511,233 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,511,233.
Example:
1 x 5,511,233 = 5,511,233
and
-1 x -5,511,233 = 5,511,233
Notice both answers equal 5,511,233
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,511,233 and divide it by 2:
5,511,233 ÷ 2 = 2,755,616.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,755,616.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 5,511,233 | |
| -1 | -5,511,233 |
Now, we try dividing 5,511,233 by 3:
5,511,233 ÷ 3 = 1,837,077.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,837,077.6667 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 5,511,233 | |
| -1 | -5,511,233 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,511,233 ÷ 4 = 1,377,808.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,377,808.25 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 5,511,233 | |
| -1 | 5,511,233 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 13 | 71 | 91 | 497 | 853 | 923 | 5,971 | 6,461 | 11,089 | 60,563 | 77,623 | 423,941 | 787,319 | 5,511,233 |
| -1 | -7 | -13 | -71 | -91 | -497 | -853 | -923 | -5,971 | -6,461 | -11,089 | -60,563 | -77,623 | -423,941 | -787,319 | -5,511,233 |
